This role is about the next chapter. We are in the early stages of onboarding new use cases onto the platform and are looking for someone who can grasp the fundamentals of our set-up and put them to use: engaging stakeholders, building trusted relationships, understanding the needs behind requests, developing and delivering scalable productionized data products, driving adoption, and making end-user reporting more efficient.

Day to day, you will:

• Collaborate closely with stakeholders across the bank, gathering business requirements by understanding their analytical needs;

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of our BI landscape, governance, security, and development standards by ensuring Power BI and Fabric solutions are secure, compliant, and aligned with NIBC's established development practices, including DTAP, user acceptance testing, and CI/CD deployment processes.

Your team
You will join our Data & Analytics department, where versatile (T-profiled), highly engaged professionals with strong technical backgrounds all work toward a single goal: reaping the dividend of the bank's asset data. Moving quickly, embracing challenges, and smiling in the face of adversity is simply in our nature.

The BI team owns and manages the Power BI and Fabric platform across the organization. As part of this team, you will support and guide data-savvy users across the bank in solving complex challenges and bringing their products to production.

What makes the BI team special is its people. We are a complementary multicultural team where team results come before individual results, and we take pride in going above and beyond in what we deliver. Between the geek talk, you will find us swapping stories about life, especially over our team lunches. We are looking for someone who can match our curiosity and passion.
